but who would date a broken girl? | j.w.d

12

it was the end of school when we got there. everyone was out, with their friends. a few people from school were at the chipotle place. we texted tyler and asked him to meet us. and he did. he immediately gave me a bear hug and didn't leave my side. he's such a sweet boy.

people stared. some gave sympathetic looks. one girl with bright yellow hair smiled at me. a few kids giggled. I looked down, tears threatening to leave me eyes. josh held on to my hand tighter. "we can go" he insisted. I shook my head as brendon ordered us food.

we all sat in the car and ate. I ate a little bit of my chipotle but then I just put it back in the bag. I couldn't eat in front of the boys. I bet they're thinking stuff.

"you okay?" josh looked over at me from the front. I nodded silently.
"please eat" brendon whispered. he was right beside me, I was leaning against his chest. I shook my head and wiped my eyes gently. "please" he begged.
"I ate" I mumbled. "a little. c'mon. your so small, you never get fat like I do"
"your not fat" I nudged him.
"neither are you" he assured me.

I sighed. "just don't stare at me" I say. they all looked away as I had another half of my chipotle. I felt so disgusting.
I threw it into the bag and looked out the window. "I'm sorry. I hate seeing you so upset" brendon says, putting a hand on my shoulder. "it's okay"

"so, where to now?" tyler asks.
"I should go home" I spoke up.
"what!?" the boys exclaimed.
"you can't!" brendon exclaims.
"it's fine"
"It's really not!"
"brendon my dad won't be home till like 3am. I'll be fine. and if my moms home which she 99% will be then no worries!"
"I'm not letting you back into there!"
"well I'm so sorry but I have to go against you" I opened the car door and ran.

that was probably stupid:
